  • Carola Binder, "Shock Values: Prices and Inflation in American Democracy" (U Chicago Press, 2024)

    Carola Binder, "Shock Values: Prices and Inflation in American Democracy" (U Chicago Press, 2024)
    May 27 2024
    A sweeping history of the United States’ economy and politics, in Shock Values: Prices and Inflation in American Democracy (U Chicago Press, 2024), Carola Binder reveals how the American state has been shaped by a massive, ever-evolving effort to insulate its economy from the real and perceived dangers of price fluctuations. Carola Binder narrates how the pains of rising and falling prices have brought lasting changes for every generation of Americans. And with each brush with price instability, the United States has been reinvented—not as a more perfect union, but as a reflection of its most recent failures. Shock Values tells the untold story of prices and price stabilization in the United States. Expansive and enlightening, Binder recounts the interest-group politics, legal battles, and economic ideas that have shaped a nation from the dawn of the republic to the present.

  • Joseph E. Stiglitz, "The Road to Freedom: Economics and the Good Society" (Norton, 2024)

    Joseph E. Stiglitz, "The Road to Freedom: Economics and the Good Society" (Norton, 2024)
    May 20 2024
    In his latest book, The Road to Freedom: Economics and the Good Society (W. W. Norton, 2024), Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz rethinks the nature of freedom and its relationship to capitalism. While many agree that freedom is good and we want more of it, we don’t agree about what it is, whose freedom we’re talking about, or what outcomes we desire. Stiglitz asks the question: whose freedom are we talking about, and what happens when one person’s freedom means a loss of freedom for someone else? Narratives of neoliberalism have been accepted as gospel despite decades of research showing that less regulation and more trust in the 'hidden hand' of free market economics do not produce greater prosperity or freedom for most individuals. Stiglitz examines how unregulated markets reduce economic opportunities for majorities by prioritizing the freedom of corporations and wealthy individuals over that of individuals, resulting in the siphoning wealth from the many to ensure the freedom of the few, from property and intellectual rights to education and opportunity. The Road to Freedom re-evaluates of what constitutes a good society and provides a roadmap to achieve it. Recommended reading: The Groves of Academe by Mary McCarthy Learn more about your ad choices.
